On 11/21/2018 Officers of the Brattleboro Police Department responded to a report of a male and female actively shoplifting from a local Putney Road business. Upon arrival officers met with employees who directed them to the subjects.

The subjects were then identified as Thomas A. Supernois (48 of Brattleboro) and Stacy L. Olmsted (46 of Brattleboro). Supernois and Olmsted were both caught by employees taking items from the store and leaving without paying. During the incident Supernois became belligerent and threatened to assault an employee at least twice. Officers also learned that Supernois and Olmsted had previously been issued trespass warnings for the business stemming from a prior theft incident.

Supernois was arrested on scene. A search of Supernois revealed more stolen items from a second Putney Road business. Supernois was later released on a citation to answer to the charges of Retail Theft, Unlawful Trespass and Disorderly Conduct.

Olmsted was issued a citation on scene and released to answer to the charges of Retail Theft and Unlawful Trespass.
